HISTORIC VICKSBURG 

The Story of the Campaign, Siege and Defense of Vicksburg 
and of the Commands, Union and Confederate, engaged therein. 
Compiled from the Tablet Inscriptions in the Vicksburg National Military Park 



he Vicksburg campaign opened March 29, 1S63, with Gen. Grant's 
der for the advance of Gen. Osterhaus' Division from Milliken's 
end and closed July 4, 1S63, with the surrender of Gen. Pember- 
n's army and the city of Vicksburg. Its course was determined 
' Gen. Grant's daring and to Gen. Pemberton and his division com- 
anders' seemingly impossible plan of campaign. This plan con- 
mplated the march of his army from Milliken's Bend, Louisiana, 
a point on the river below Vicksburg, the running of the batteries 
Vicksburg by a sufficient number of gunboats and transports, and 
e transfer of the army to the Mississippi side. These preliminary 
erations were successfully accomplished and the first battle of the 
mpaign was fought near Port Gibson, May 1. The Union army, 



under command of Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant, was composed of the 
Thirteenth Corps and Logan's Division of the Seventeenth Corps. 
The Confederate army, under command of Brig. Gen. John S. Bowen, 
was composed of Tracy's, CockreU's, Green's, and Baldwin's Bri- 
gades, theSixth Mississippi Infantry.the Botetourt (Virginia) Artillery 
and a section of Hudson's (Mississippi) Battery. Most of the Con- 
federate regiments made forced marches to reach the battlefield and 
arrived with thinned ranks. Tracy's Brigade held the right, Green's 
and the Sixth Mississippi the left of the Confederate line. The battle 
was opened at an early hour by the advance of Carr's and Hovey's 
Divisions on the right and Osterhaus' on the left of the Union line, 
Smith's Division in reserve. The Confederate left was driven back

about 10.00 a.m. and Baldwin's Brigade, just arrived, formed a nev 
line about one and one-half miles in rear of the first position. Two 
regiments, just arrived, of Cockrell's Brigade were posted on the 
new line; Green's Brigade and one regiment, just arrived, of Cock- 
rell's Brigade, were ordered to the Confederate right, which had 
retired a little from its first position. The First Brigade of Logan's 
Division was sent, on arrival, to the Union left, the Third reinforced 
the Union right and Smith's Division became engaged; the Second 
Brigade of Logan's Division did not arrive until near the close of the 
battle. The Confederate line was held until about 5.30 p.m., when 
both wings were driven from their positions and fell back across 
Bayou Pierre, the First and Fourth Missouri Infantry (consolidated) 
of Cockrell's Brigade arriving in time to assist in covering the 
retreat. Casualties: Union; killed 131, wounded 719, missing 25, 
total 875, one officer killed. Confederate; killed 56, wounded 328, 
missing 341, total 725, Brig. Gen. E. D. Tracy and three other 
officers killed. 

Up to that time General Grant had contemplated the probability 
of uniting the army of General Banks with his army. He then 
decided not to await the arrival of Banks' army, and the march to 
the rear of Vicksburg by way of Raymond and Jackson was begun. 
The next engagement was at Raymond, May 12. The Union army, 
under command of Maj. Gen. James B. McPherson, was composed of 
the Third and Seventh Divisions, Seventeenth Corps. The Confed- 
erate army, under command of Brig. Gen. John Gregg, was composed 
of Gregg's Brigade and a squadron of Wirt Adams' Cavalry. The 
battle was opened by the advance of the Third Division, Maj. Gen. 
John A. Logan commanding — Smith's Brigade on the right, Dennis' 
on the left, and Stevenson's at first in reserve, but later on the extreme 
right. The Seventh Division, Brig. Gen. Marcellus M. Crocker 
commanding, formed line in support and as reserve. The Confed- 
erate line was held for more than two hours, when the Brigade fell 
back, mostly in good order, through and beyond the town of Ray- 
mond. Six mounted companies of the Third Kentucky (Confederate) 
Infantry arrived at the close of the battle and assisted in covering 
the retreat. Casualties: Union; killed 66, wounded 339, missing 
37, total 442, seven officers killed. Confederate; killed 73, wounded 
251, missing 190, total 514, nine officers killed or mortally wounded. 
The same day the left of Grant's army, under McClernand, skir- 
mished at Fourteen-Mile Creek with the cavalry and mounted 
infantry of Pemberton's army, supported by Bowen's Division and 
two brigades of Loring's Division. 

After the engagement at Raymond, Sherman's and McPherson's 
Corps marched toward Jackson, near which city a brief engagement 
occurred May 14. The Union army, under command of Maj 1 . Can. 
U. S. Grant, was composed of Steele's and Tuttle's Divisions, Fif- 
teenth Corps, Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman commanding; aqid 
Logan's and Crocker's Divisions, Seventeenth Corps, Maj. Gejn. 
James B. McPherson commanding. General Grant was wi:h 
General Sherman. The Confederate army, under command of Brig. 
Gen. John Gregg, was composed of Gregg's, Gist's, and Walker's 
Brigades. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston was in the city. Gist's Brigade 
was posted on the Clinton road about three miles west of Jackson, 
Walker's supported Gist's, and Gregg's was on the right of Gist s. 
The Third Kentucky Mounted Infantry, a battalion of sharpshoote rs 
and Martin's Battery of Walker's Brigade, were posted on the Ray- 
mond road about two miles from the city. The divisions of tie 
Fifteenth Corps marched toward Jackson on the Raymond road; 
Tuttle's formed line of battle on both sides of that road and drove 
the Confederate force into the intrenchment; Steele's formed line on 
both sides of the railroad; the two divisions advanced and occupied 
the intrenchments on their respective fronts. The divisions of t/ie 
Seventeenth Corps marched on the Clinton road; Crocker's formed 
line of battle, with Logan's in reserve, drove the Confederate line 
from its position after a sharp fight, advanced and occupied the 



intrenchment in its front. Casualties: Union; killed 42, wounde 
251, missing 7, total 300, one officer killed. Confederate; killed 1' 
wounded 64, missing US, total 199, one officer killed. The Cor 
federate army retreated northward in the direction of Canton an 
General Grant had placed his army between those of General Pen 
berton and General Johnston. 

Sherman's Corps remained at Jackson one day and was ordere 

to destroy the military supplies of all kinds in that city and as muc 

as possible of the railroads centering there; McPherson's Corf 

marched west from Jackson the morning of May 15, and the blooc 

iest battle of the campaign was fought the next day at Champion 

Hill. The Union army, under command of Maj. Gen. U. S. Gran 

was composed of the Thirteenth Corps, Blair's Division of the Fi 

teenth Corps and Logan's and Crocker's Divisions of the Sever 

teenth Corps. The Confederate army, under command of Liei 

Gen. John C. Pemberton, was composed of Stevenson's, Bowen 

and Loring's Divisions, and Wirt Adam's Cavalry. Reynold 

Brigade of Stevenson's Division and two Union regiments wei 

detailed as train guards. Logan's and Hovey's Divisions were o 

the right, Osterhaus' and Carr's in the center, A. J. Smith's an 

Blair's on the left of the Union line. Loring's Division held tl 

right, Bowen's the center, and Stevenson's the left of the Confedera' 

line. The battle was opened about 10.30 or 11.00 a.m. by tl 

advance of Logan's and Hovey's Divisions in line of battle; Hovey 

attack broke the Confederate line at the angle, captured the gm 

at that point and at the j unction of the Clinton and middle Raymor 

roads, and forced Cumming's Brigade and the right of Lee's to for 

new lines — the former on the middle Raymond road, the latter c 

a ridge between that road and its first position. Bowen's Divisk 

reinforced the Confederate left, formed line of battle under fire aboi 

1.30 p.m., drove back Hovey's Division, recovered the guns at tl 

junction of the two roads and most of the ground lost earlier in tl 

day. Boomer's Brigade of Crocker's Division reinforced Hovey's ar 

became engaged about 2.00 p.m; two regiments of Holmes' Brigac 

of Crocker's Division became engaged a little later and Bower 

advance was checked. About the same time the right and cent 

of Logan's Division reached the middle Raymond road and capture 

the guns on the left of the Confederate line. About 3.30 p.m., tl 

Union batteries concentrated on a commanding ridge, opened 

heavy fire, the Union line advanced and the Confederate army w 

driven from the field. Stevenson's and Bowen's Divisions crossi 

Baker's creek and fell back toward Vicksburg; Loring's Divisic 

abandoned its artillery and marched southeastward to Cryst 

Springs. Casualties: Union; killed 410, wounded 1,844, missii 

187, total 2,441, thirtv-eight officers killed or mortallv wounde 

Confederate; killed 3S0, wounded 1,018, missing 2,453, 'total 3,85 

Brig. Gen. Lloyd Tilghman and thirty-two other officers killed. 

Part of the Confederate army was ordered by General Pembertc 
to make a stand on the east side of Big Black River and an engag 
ment occurred there May 17. The Union army, under commai 
of Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant, was composed of Osterhaus', Smith 
and Carr's Divisions of the Thirteenth Corps, Maj. Gen. John 
McClernand commanding. The Confederate army, under commai 
of Brig. Gen. John S. Bowen, was composed of Cockrell's and Greer 
Brigades of Bowen's Division, Vaughn's Brigade of Smith's Divisic 
and the Fourth Mississippi of Baldwin's Brigade, Smith's Divisio 
Carr's Division was on the right, Osterhaus' in the center, <-• 
Smith's on the left of the Union line. The Confederate line i 
formed in an intrenchment on the east side of Big Black River ; 
across a peninsula formed by a bend in that river; Cockrell's Brig* 
held the right, Vaughn's and the Fourth Mississippi the center, « 
Green's the left of the line. After an artillery engagement of ab 
two hours, Lawler's Brigade on the right of Carr's Division attacl 
in line of battle with fixed bayonets, the Union line advanced aL 
its entire front, and the Confederate army fell back from the intren

ment in disorder and crossed the river. Casualties: Union; killed 
39, wounded 23", missing 3, total 279, seven officers killed or mor- 
tally wounded. Confederate; killed 3, wounded 9, missing 539, total 
551 (exclusive of Vaughn's Brigade and Fourth Mississippi of Bald- 
win's Brigade not reported), one officer killed. 

The railroad bridge (covered with plank) and the boat bridge on 
which the Confederates crossed the river were both burned. The 
morning of May IS the Union army began crossing on three bridges 
that had been laid during the afternoon and night of the 17th. Sher- 
man's Corps crossed at Bridgeport, on the right, and marched toward 
Vicksburg on the Benton-Jackson road; McPherson's Corps, in the 
center, crossed on a floating bridge borne up by cotton bales, and 
marched on the same road; McClernand's Corps crossed near the 
railroad bridge, marched on the Jackson road to Mt. Alban, took a 
cross road at that point, turning to the left to intersect the Baldwin's 
Ferry road and marched toward Vicksburg on that road. General 
Grant believed that his army could storm the Confederate works 
around the city, and ordered an assault at 2.00 p.m. of May 19. The 
Union army under his command was composed of three divisions of 
the Thirteenth Corps, the Fifteenth and the Seventeenth Corps. 
The Confederate army, under command of Lieut. Gen. John C. 
Pemberton, was composed of Stevenson's, Forney's, Smith's and 
Bowen's Divisions, and Waul's Texas Legion. The Fifteenth Corps 
was on the right, the Seventeenth in the center, and the Thirteenth 
on the left of the Union line. Stevenson's Division held the right, 
Forney's the center and Smith's the left of the Confederate line! 
Bowen's Division and Waul's Texas Legion were in reserve, but 
Cockrell's Brigade of Bowen's Division was engaged. The Union 
army advanced at 2.00 p.m.; only a reconnaissance in force was 
accomplished at most points along its line, but Blair's Division of 
the Fifteenth Corps assaulted the Stockade Redan on the Grave- 
yard road and carried the colors of some of its regiments close to - 
both faces of that work and to the curtain immediately west of 
it. Casualties: Union; killed 157, wounded 777, missing 8, total 942, 
fifteen officers killed or mortally wounded. Confederate; not fully 
reported. 

Neither General Grant nor the rank and file of his army were 
yet convinced that Vicksburg must be reduced by the slow and 
laborious operations of a siege. The Twentieth and Tweiity-first 
were employed in securing positions for the infantry and in placing 
batteries on commanding points. At 10.00 o'clock the forenoon of the 
22d a second assault was made. The two armies were in position 
3n their respective lines as on May 19, except that Waul's Texas 
Legion had been assigned a position in rear of the left of Lee's Bri- 
gade on the left of Stevenson's Division. After a heavy cannonade 
by every gun in position on the Union line, assaults were made at 
10.00 a.m. by the Fifteenth Corps at the Stockade Redan on the 
jraveyard road; by the Seventeenth on the right and left of the 
[ackson road, and by the Thirteenth at the lunette on the Bald- 
win's Ferry road, the railroad redoubt and the curtain between 
:hat redoubt and Fort Garrott; Hall's Brigade of McArthur's 
3ivision, Seventeenth Corps, advanced close to the Confederate 
ine on the Warrenton road but did not assault; the colors of the 
eadmg regiments were carried close to the Confederate works at 
:very point assaulted, a brigade headquarters flag was placed on the 
iarapet of the Stockade Redan, flags were placed on the parapet of 
he railroad redoubt and that work was temporarily occupied, but 
10 permanent lodgment was anywhere made. Assaults were made 
n the afternoon by the Seventeenth Corps at curtain between the 
ailroad redoubt and the lunette on the Baldwin's Ferry road, at that 
unette, at the Jackson road, and at the curtain north of Glass' 
iayou ; and by the Fifteenth Corps at the curtain south of the Grave- 
'ard road, at the Stockade Redan on that road, and at a point 
.bout one-third of a mile west of that redan; the colors of the lead- 
ng regiments were again carried close to the Confederate line 



another flag was placed on the parapet of the Stockade Redan, but 
the eftort to carry the Confederate line of defense by assault was 
unsuccessful at every point. Casualties: Union; killed 502, wounded 
2,oo0 missing 147, total 3,199, sixty-eight officers killed or mortally 
wounded. Confederate; not fully reported. 

As early as May 5, General Grant had ordered Lauman's Division 
of the Sixteenth Corps to the vicinity of Vicksburg: it took position 
on the left of the Thirteenth on May 25, and, on June 15, Herron's 
Division took position on the extreme left, extending its line to the 
river below Vicksburg and thereby completing its investment. Two 
divisions of the Ninth Corps, two other divisions of the Sixteenth 
Corps, and seven brigades detached from the three corps that began 
the campaign were deployed on an exterior line, under command of 
General Sherman alter June 22, extending from Haynes' Bluff on 
the left to Big Black River bridge on the right, toguardagainstattack 
by Johnston s army. This army was assembled after the engage- 
ment at Jackson, May 14, in the hope that it would be able to raise 
the siege of Vicksburg, either by defeating General Grant's army or 
by assisting the Confederate army of Vicksburg to break through 
the investment line. Siege operations were carried on by the part 
of the Union army engaged on that line, and were successfully 
opposed by the Confederate army, from May 23 to July 3, when a 
proposal for capitulation was sent by General Pemberton to General 
Grant. They met for conference that afternoon between the lines 
and near the Jackson road. The terms of capitulation were agreed 
upon by correspondence after the meeting, and the Confederate 
army of Vicksburg was surrendered to General Grant on July 4, 
and a detachment of his army occupied the city. Casualties from 
March 29 to July 4, inclusive: Union; killed 1,581, wounded 7,554 
missing 1,007, total 10,142. Confederate; killed 1,413, wounded 
3,878, missing 3.S00, total 9,091; 29,491 officers and men were sur- 
rendered at the end of the defense. 

At the beginning of siege operations, May 23, about 162 guns were 
on the investment line, most of them in position in hastily con- 
structed batteries. These were enlarged and strengthened and 
additional guns successively mounted in new batteries at advan- 
tageous positions. Embrasures of batteries close to the Confederate 
line closed against rifle balls by plank shutters or with bags of packed 
cotton. The first parallel made almost continuous from the right 
on the river tojhe left of the 13th Army Corps, and.astheapproaches 
were carried forward, second and third parallels opened. Loopholes 
for sharpshooters, made either with sand bags or in a timber on the 
parapet; sixteen principal approaches begun and eleven carried close 
to the Confederate line. They were loop-holed for sharpshooters 
wherever opportunity for fire was afforded; nine galleries for mines 
started" and two mines fired, both at the head of Logan's approach. 
At the end of the siege, July 4, about 220 guns, including all from 
the Navy, were on the investment line, largely in position; eighty- 
nine batteries constructed, but about twenty abandoned and their 
guns moved to the exterior line or to advanced positions; aggregate 
length of Union trenches, twelve miles. 

The Confederate line of defense, eight miles long, mounted about 
L30 gunsun sixty-seven batteries. Works and connecting curtains 
'oop-holed for sharpshooters. Damage done them by the Union 
batteries repaired at night. A number of guns disabled by the fire 
of the Union batteries and, in most cases, new guns could not be 
mounted in their places. Countermines against Union approaches 
and mines prepared at nine places and four fired. Retrenchments 
made in rear of some works, but not used, as the line of defense was 
not anywhere broken. The defense largely confined to snapshoot- 
ing and maintained for forty-seven days without relief for the officers 
and men in the trenches, part of the time without sufficient rations. 

Reported casualties, May 23- July 4: Union; killed 94, wounded 
425, missing 119, total 638, nineteen officers killed or mortally 
wounded. Confederate, not separately reported. Reported casu- 



alties, Mayl8-July4: Union; killed 766, wounded 3,793, missing 276, 
total 4,835, 107 officers killed or mortally wounded. Confederate, 
river batteries not included; killed S73, wounded 2,141, missing 158, 
total 3,172, 93 officers killed or mortally wounded. 

The Vicksburg Campaign would not have been planned and 
could not have been conducted on the lines on which it was success- 
fully made without the assistance of the Navy. About twenty-six 
gunboats and light-draughts of the Mississippi Squadron, with 
necessary attendants, Acting Rear Admiral David D. Porter com- 
manding, and, during part of the time, the Mississippi Marine Bri- 
gade, Brig. Gen. Alfred W. Ellett commanding, co-operated with 
the army in the operations of the campaign and siege. 

The night of April 16, 1S63, eight gunboats, including the Ram 
"General Price," and three transports passed the Confederate bat- 
teries on the river line at Vicksburg and at Warrenton, one transport 
sunk. Six days later five additional transports passed down without 
material damage, and one was sunk by the fire of the Confederate 
batteries. The gunboats below Vicksburg bombarded the Confed- 
erate batteries at Grand Gulf, April 29, without effectively silenc- 
ing them. They and the seven transports ran past these batteries 
that night and, during the two following days, carried six divisions 
of the army across the river, landing them at Bruinsburg on the 
Mississippi side. The other divisions of General Grant's army were 
carried across the river at later dates. 

At the beginning of the investment the gunboats below the city 
attacked the lower Confederate batteries, May 19, May 20, May 21, 
May 22 and May 27. On the last-named day the gunboat "Cin- 
cinnati" attacked the upper batteries from above the city and was 
disabled and sunk. During the siege detachments from the Squad- 
ron co-operated by making the investment on the river side as com- 
plete as possible and by shelling the Confederate batteries and 
intrenchments; served seven mortars on mortar boats anchored 
behind the peninsula opposite the city, and, during the latter part 
of the siege, three heavy guns on scows behind the peninsula and at 
the left — north — of the mortar boats; made expeditions up the 
Yazoo River and its tributaries and co-operated in the repulse of the 
Confederate attacks at Young's Point, Milliken's Bend and Good- 
rich's Landing. Thirteen heavy guns from the Squadron mounted 
on the investment line in eight batteries. 

Detachments from the Marine Brigade were engaged at Rich- 
mond, Louisiana, June 15, casualties, wounded 3; co-operated in 
the repulse of the Confederate attack at Goodrich's Landing, casual- 
ties, 1 officer killed; and served three guns on the peninsula opposite 
the city during the latter part of the siege. Reported casualties in 
the Squadron— including the infantry regiments detailed for service 
on gunboats— in the campaign and siege: killed 23, drowned 14, 
wounded 102, missing 1, total 140, 1 officer killed. 

The River Batteries, under command of Colonel Edward Hig- 
gins, C. S. Artillery, were served by six companies of Tennessee 
Heavy Artillery on the right, four companies of the 8th Louisiana 
Heavy Artillery Battallion in the center and eight companies of the 
1st Louisiana Heavy Artillery on the left. Two companies of the 
22d Louisiana were attached to the left and the Vaiden (Mississippi) 
Battery to the center of the command. It was charged with the 
duty of opposing the passage of Union gunboats and transports and 
was in action; the night of April 16, when eight gunboats and three 
transports passed, without reported casualties, one transport sunk; 
the night of April 22, when six transports passed, casualties, 1 killed, 
2 wounded, total 3, one transport sunk, and the night of May 3, 
when a tug and two loaded barges attempted to pass but were sunk, 
■without reported casualties. 



At the beginning of the investment, May 18, about thirty-eight 
heavy guns were in position on the river line and thirteen light 
pieces posted on the city front. All the light and six of the heavy 
guns were successively moved to the line of defense with the detach- 
ments serving them, but one of the heavy guns was moved back to 
the river line. 

During the investment, May 18-July 4, the river batteries were 
opposed to the gunboats below the city, the mortars behind the 
peninsula, and the guns on the peninsula and on scows, and were 
engaged May 19, May 20, May 21, May 22 and May 27, with the 
gunboats below the city. On the last-named day the gunboat 
"Cincinnati" attacked the upper batteries and was disabled and 
sunk on the Mississippi side of the great bend in the river above 
the city, after an action of thirty minutes. Reported casualties 
in command during the investment: killed and wounded about 
thirty.

Ewing's Brigade; Assault, May 19, 1863. 

This brigade, with skirmishers in advance, was formed behind 
the crest of^.the ridge immediately north of Mint Spring Bayou, in 
order, from right to left, as follows: 37th Ohio, 4th West Virginia, 
47th Ohio, in line, and the 30th Ohio in reserve. The brigade con- 
nected closely with Steele's Division on its right, and with Giles A. 
Smith's Brigade on its left. This brigade moved promptly at the 
appointed time, 2.00 p.m. Its left two regiments advanced close to 
the Confederate intrenchment, where their colors remained until 
after dark. The right regiment was unable to cross the ravine in 
its front, on account of obstacles, but covered the left in its advanced 
position by a heavy fire. When the line moved forward the reserve 
regiment advanced to the crest of the hill and began firing. After 
dark the brigade retired, under orders, to the position where it 
formed for the assault. This tablet marks the farthest advance of 
the 4th West Virginia. Casualties: 30th Ohio, wounded 9; 37th 
Ohio, killed 14, wounded 35, total 49, Lieuts. Gustav A. Wintzer 



and Sebaldus Hassler killed; 47th Ohio, killed 13, wounded 40, 
missing 6, total 59, Lieut. Edward N. Bernard killed, Lieut. Jonathan 
Casto mortally wounded; 4th West Virginia, killed 27, wounded

Giles A. Smith's Brigade; Assault, May 19, 1863. 

This brigade, with skirmishers in advance, was formed behind 
the crest of the ridge about 320 yards in front of the north face of 
the Confederate Stockade Redan on the Graveyard road, in the 
following order from right to left: 6th Missouri, 113th Illinois (de- 
tachment), 116th Illinois, 1st battalion, 13th U. S. Infantry, in line, 
and the 8th Missouri in reserve. The ground in front was much 
obstructed by a growth of brush and cane, and by felled trees. The 
brigade moved promptly at the appointed time — 2.00 p.m., but its 
lines were soon broken up by the obstacles encountered, and by the 
rugged character of the ground. The 8th Missouri, under orders.

Thomas Kilby Smith's Brigade; Assault, May 19, 1863. 

This brigade, with skirmishers in advance, was formed about 
600 yards in front of the east face of the Confederate Stockade Redan 
on the Graveyard road, on both sides of that road, in the following 
order: the 83d Indiana with the 127th Illinois in support, under 
command of Col. Spooner, 83d Indiana, on the right of the road; 
the 55th Illinois on the left of the 83d Indiana, resting its right on 
the road, the 54th Ohio on the left of the 55th Illinois and the 57th 
Ohio in support. The ground in front was much obstructed by a 
growth of brush and cane, and by felled trees. The brigade moved 
promptly at the appointed time — 2.00p.m., but its lines were soon 
broken up by the obstacles encountered and by the rugged char- 
acter of the ground. The right wing approached close to the salient 
angle of the Stockade Redan, a few men getting into the ditch of that 
work. The left wing halted at the crest of the ridge nearest to the 
Confederate line and advanced companies from each regiment close 
to that line. Both wings maintained their positions until after 
dark, when they retired, under orders. This tablet marks the 
farthest advance of the 83d Indiana. Casualties: 55th Illinois, 
killed 4, wounded 22, total 26, Lieut. Levi Hill killed; 127th Illinois,

The 4th Minnesota, with the 48th Indiana in support, was 
formed, for the assault at 10.00 a.m., in line of battle on the left of 
Boomer's Brigade, about eighty yards in front of the Confederate 
intrenchment and on the slope of a ridge affording some protection. 
The 59th Indiana was temporarily transferred to Boomer's Brigade 
and formed with it; the ISth Wisconsin was deployed as skirmishers 
in front of that brigade and the 4th Minnesota. No assault was 
made from that position, and, about 3 p.m., this brigade was ordered 
to reinforce Gen. McClernand's right; the 59th Indiana was returned 
to its command and the 18th Wisconsin ordered to remain on the 
skirmish line. The three regiments moved to the left, were directed 
to support Burbridge's Brigade in the assault on the Confederate 
Lunette on the Baldwin's Ferry road, marched by the flank through 
the ravine that debouches on that road at the lunette, formed line 
of battle, relieving Burbridge's Brigade, in front and to the right of 
the north face of that work — 59thlndiana on the right, 48th Indiana 
in the center, 4th Minnesota on the left; repulsed an attack on the

Carrabout4. 00p.m. .and was ordered to assault the Confederate cur- 
tain between the lunette on the Baldwin's Ferry road and the railroad 
redoubt. The brigade was formed, in two lines with intervals of 
about 50 yards, behind the crest of the ridge about 400 yards in 
front of the Confederate curtain, in the following order: the 5th 
Iowa on the right, in front, with the 26th Missouri in its rear; the 
93d Illinois on the left, in front, with the 10th Iowa in its rear. When 
the formation was completed, the brigade advanced, at common 
time, passed the first ridge and halted, near the crest of the second, 
to correct its alignment for the final assault on the Confederate 
curtain — the 5th Iowa being moved by the left flank to the rear and 
partly to the left of the 93d Illinois and 10th Iowa. Immediately 
thereafter the brigade commander, Col. George B. Boomer, 26th 
Missouri, was instantly killed by a musket ball and the final assault 
was not made. Col. Holden Putnam, 93d Illinois, assumed command, 
and, under orders from Gen. Carr, the brigade remained in position 
until after dark and then retired to the position where it was first 
formed for the afternoon assault — returning, next day, to its posi-
